Kitten Pictures!
The first was taken post-birth, at about 5:30 AM on May 10th, and the second was in the afternoon on that same day.
It's Emma nursing the little darlings!
And, from left to right, we have Gray, Big Orange, Calico, Little Orange, and Black. We're fairly positive that Gray and the two Oranges are boys and that Black and Calico are girls (well, we KNOW Calico is a girl because all calicos are girls), but the initial sexing isn't always accurate so I'm going to check again in a week or so. We're trying to handle them as little as possible so that Emma doesn't get scared from all the human-smell on her babies, but she lets us go near them and pet them and pick them up if we need to.
They are the cutest little things ever. Everyone seems healthy, but I'm going to try to get Mama and all five babies into the vet relatively soon to make sure.
More pics as they develop! Subsequent picture posts will go under a cut, don't worry. Oh, and Emma updated her blog too, but it's a pretty similar post to this one. =P
